Hector Cruz

Founder of Project: Breastfeeding

My name is Hector and this project started when my daughter was born and my wife had trouble with breastfeeding. We had no access to a lactation consultant and so I went on a local Facebook group and asked for help. I went on to learn so much about breastfeeding from there and really saw the negative reactions and lack of public support for breastfeeding moms. So I have embarked on a national campaign to destigmatize breastfeeding in public, to educate men, and to empower women to feel comfortable with feeding their baby.
